About me
Has a traumatic experience left you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself? Perhaps you're living with the lasting effects of childhood sexual abuse, rape, sexual violence or another traumatic experience, and wondering whether life can ever feel different.
Trauma can effect every part of our lives. You may experience anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, shame, guilt, self-blame, flashbacks or nightmares. Relationships may fell difficult, you might find it hard to trust others, or perhaps you simply feel stuck, constantly on edge or disconnected from yourself.
You don't have to face this alone.
I'm Katrina, an accredited counsellor, EMDR therapist and counselling supervisor with extensive experience supporting adults, young people and children who have experienced trauma. I specialise in working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual violence, helping people make sense of their experiences and move towards healing at a pace that feels right for them.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel daunting, particularly if trusting others has become difficult. My priority is to offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space where you feel heard, believed and respected. There is never any pressure to talk about anything before you're ready. Together we will work gently to understand how your experiences have shaped your life and explore ways to reduce their impact.
I offer both talking therapy and EMDR therapy - we can discuss which approach is suitable for you during our initial conversations.
My approach is warm, collaborative and trauma informed. I will help you understand yourself with compassion, develop new ways of coping and reconnect with the person you want to be.
If you feel I may the right therapist for you, I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation with absolutely no obligation to continue.
I would be honoured to support you on your journey towards healing.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
